Free Heart Aflame: Daily Readings From Calvin On The Psalms Ebooks Online
John Calvin described the Psalms as "an anatomy of all the parts of the soul." The description is an apt one, says Sinclair B. Ferguson in the foreword to this volume, "since every experience, every emotion, all the heights and depths, all the joys and sorrows, all the mysteries of human life, are here." These select readings from Calvin's Commentary on the Psalms provide us with a year's worth of rewarding daily meditations. Calvin wrote as one whose own experience is mirrored in the Psalms. Here we witness his remarkable knack for seeing the real issues, particularly how Christ is the focus of all of Scripture.

He teaches us how impossible it is for anyone to apply his mind to meditation upon God's law, who has not first withdrawn and separated himself from the society of the ungodly.An excellent Christmas gift.

Ferguson does a great job at compiling John Calvin's heart and soul through his own writings through the Psalms. If you want to challenge your heart and grow in depth, this is the book for you.
This is one of the best devotional books that I have read. To see Calvin's views on the selected Psalms is an inspiration. He truly gives the Glory to God. I bought a copy of "Heart Aflame: Daily Readings from Calvin on the Psalms" for each member of my family.
I am using it as part of my daily studies, but I still am getting use to Calvin's expository style of writing. Perhaps I should rate it again after I have gotten further into the book. I will continue to read it through.
I just can't go wrong with Calvin, enjoy this book very much.
